linked .proto files not compiled

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a linked .proto file
2. File New/FIle/Advanced/Link to file in file system
3. open linked .proto file
4. change and save

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect the .proto file to be compiled

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Eclipse 3.7, protobuf-dt 1.1.1, Linux

Many projects share the .proto files, for instance Client and Server, this is a 
common pattern as keeping two copies of the same file is prone to issues. 
Linking the one .proto file in the client project is a good way to keep them in 
sync, so it would be nice if a linked proto file could be compiled.

A workaround I currently use on Linux is to create an O/S dependent symbolic 
link to the server .proto file, but using the eclipse linked file (or linked 
folder) would be a better option.
